So, this past weekend someone hijacked my gmail account, and I have sent Google support screenshots and pleas for help to get back my email account, which I have had since June of last year. Here is the latest I got from Google:

Hello,

We have investigated this issue, but because the results were inconclusive, we’re not able to provide further assistance.

Gmail takes the privacy and security of our users very seriously. For this reason, we can’t reveal any further information about this account.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused, and thank you for your cooperation.

Sincerely,

The Gmail Team

Looks like I am S.O.L. Goodbye to all my saved mail from this account. Just imagine if all of a sudden, without warning, your email account just vanished. And your email company said, “sorry, that’s the breaks”. That’s pretty much what Google did to me. Isn’t it ironic that Google says that they take the privacy and security of their users very seriously, and that is the reason they cannot help me? Go figure…

I guess I shouldn’t be too upset. It was a free service, after all. But I won’t be using it any longer. It really has made me sour about Google. The search engine is great, GoogleEarth and GoogleMaps are nice, but their Gmail client is crap.
